What's in a shooter? A bullet by any other game is just the same... right? Wrong! This week on the Vault, we look at three games that turn the genre you think you know upside down, from multiplayer madness set in a blink-and-you're-dead fantasy world, to hilariously entertaining zombie destructive physics environments, and even a visual novel/horizontal shooter hybrid that will keep you involved for hours and hours...

We always try to feature only games we think you'll love, but sometimes a game surprises even us by how much you want to love it and pet it and call it George. Here are three games that were unexpected hits, varying from naked tricycling to simply sweet interactive art.

Beep! The year is now 2013, so by now you have all been assimilated into robots. But don't be sad! Anticipating this, we've written this week's Vault as a series of robot-themed games to gently lower you into your new life as a cold, unfeeling mechanical monster. Hooray!

What's in an RPG? As games continue to evolve and change concepts, that's changed significantly. Some of them might merely incorporate "RPG elements", while others rely on providing a story-lite, but in depth combat-oriented adventure, and still more offer up classic JRPG style with a twist. Here are three games who all serve up RPG gameplay, of sorts, in vastly different styles and ways.

Thinking compelling, memorable stories can't be found in browser games is a mistake, and on this week's Vault we look at three games that take very different approaches to delivering their narrative. From a near-wordless space platforming adventure, to a shooter taking place inside an AI, and a point-and-click adventure about a girl who deals in unusual currency.

Rating:

Innovation? It doesn't have to be as elaborate as you think! The three games starring in this week's Vault prove all you need is a talented developer to get every drop of cleverness and entertainment out of simple, familiar gameplay concepts and make something as engrossing and entertaining as a fancier title.

The outlook isn't good on the JayIsGames Arcade Megaplex Startkicker campaign. So far, we've only received $7.50 in pledges, and I think that may have been by accident. Oh well, at least there's all the wonderful games in the archives to console me. Today in the Vault, we have a bit of cryptically challenging wordplay, a demonically delicious piece of platforming, and some super sliding Sokoban ripe for the solving.

Like your games to be super scary? Or just a little spooky? Whatever your tastes, this week's supersized edition of the Vault has something for you as we feature some of our favourite Halloween-y games from years past, from puzzles to point-and-clicks!

Halloween is galloping towards us, so it's time to enjoy some deliciously creepy gaming treats, ranging from "eh" to "OH NOES" on the scale of fear. A macabre toy story, an up close and visceral medical simulation, and a horrifyingly tense game of cat-and-mouse will be just the ticket to get you ready for the season. Pleasant dreams.

The archives of your Friendly Neighbourhood Casual Gameplay are filled with all sorts of games, and it can be difficult to try to pick a favourite type... so why bother when there's so much cool stuff worth checking out? Here are four very enjoyable little games who all are awesome for different reasons.

Simple phrases can be interpreted so many ways, and when it comes to our Casual Gameplay Design Competitions, the developers who enter come out swinging to deliver bigtime with games that interpret the chosen themes in drastically different fashions. This week's Vault takes a look at three of our favourites as we gear up to judge the current 10th Casual Gameplay Design Competition.

Rating:

Bugs, gems, and exit doors might seem like an odd combination, but not when you're talking about the Vault! A classic sliding blocks style puzzler, an exercise in itty-bitty exploration, and a night in the life of a spider building its web are all the stars.

Rating:

Beep boop whrrrrrrrrrrr KLIK! That's "robot" for "You're looking nice today!" Though if you change the inflection a little it means "This week's Vault looks at three really different but really awesome robot themed games!" Which is kind of convenient as far as translations go. Shhhh, don't think about it. Just enjoy.

I don't know much, but I do know this: That the JayIsGames archives is packed with a number of wonderful hits from the past. This week in The Vault we'll dive into the action-packed advergame housing market, pick peculiarities from a pack of nearly-identical photography, and guide a stickman through an obstacle course designed by a mad genius of point-and-click.

Italian plumbers and busty adventuring archaeologists get all the attention. This week, we look at some of our favourite flash gaming protagonists who are definitely more than a little unusual. Elephants, robots, and hermits? Oh, my! It's proof that anyone can be a star, no matter how little, lonely, or blue you are.

Rating:

All you need is a mouse to play the point-and-click games in this week's Vault!... well... okay, and a computer. ... and some electricity... and I guess a house to put it in... and some soft pajama bottoms for comfiness... and some internet... but other than that a mouse is all you need!

We've got your boom-boom-boom this week on the Vault, with high-flying cats, bullet-slinging fairies, and one knight who might seriously reign indefinitely as "most adorable defender of the land". It's action time, so saddle up, strap on your lasers and sword, and get cracking!

Rating:

Whether you're a die-hard tactic enthusiast or a timid strategy newcomer, this week's batch of games offers up some varied and challenging gameplay for all players.

Babies? Snacks? Magic cubes? Secret government projects? What could these games possibly have in common? Well, aside from the fact that they're all point-and-click adventures, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Haha! That's right! I'm sticking it to the man and making a Vault article where the games have nothing in common whatsoever apart from the gameplay and interface and execution and okay maybe two of them are advergames BUT THAT'S ALL.

Rating:

Hire a jazz band to back you up, practice your "lurking around under lonely streetlight" skills, and order some fedoras because you're going sleuthing! The mystery game might not be as widely experimented with as other genres, but these three favourites prove that it can't be beat in terms of style, swank, and plot twists aplenty.

Rating:

Dungeons, dragons, drills, decapitations... what do they all have in common? Fantasy, of course! This week, we're putting on our +20% Boots of Coolness to dive deep into the Vault for some titles that have brought a little fantasy into our lives in vastly different ways.

Emotions can be powerful stuff, and few people ever expect to encounter them to any great degree when they set out to indulge in a little casual gaming. Of course, by now you should know indie developers are a clever, dastardly lot who will never pass up a chance to mess with your heartstrings (or your head) no matter what genre you're enjoying. Here are three games you should try if you'll looking for a very different gaming experience that makes you feel.

Things have been pretty tough this spring on Tricky Farm in JayIsGamesVille. First, I wasn't able to get enough invite responses to save ol' Bessie. Then, after forgetting to check in every seventeen minutes, the whole sorghum crop dried out. At least, I know I can always look to the JIG Archives for a bumper harvest of fun. This week, we have some gateway strategy games that are sure to take your mind off any agricultural trouble.

Rating:

We're pulling out the whole kittenkaboodle for this week's supersized Vault, celebrating all things fantastically feline in our favourite games. They're cute, they're cuddly, they're destructive, but we love them anyway, whether we're chasing after them, stuffing them with fish, or piloting them through space.

Rating:

Kids just wanna have fun, and there are a lot of games our there that are tyke-accessible without being too silly or insipid for us big kids to boot. This week's Vault looks at three kid friendly games we love, and love to enjoy even if we've long grown out of mandatory bed times and superhero undies ourselves.

Get ready to adventure with Tycho and Gabe again, or find yourself stranded in somewhere cold and hostile, or maybe just save your home from a dark and deadly infestation! There's a whole lot of gaming going on!

Rating:

When you play games, do you carefully read and pay attention to every bit of dialogue on the screen, or do you just start mashing buttons to get to the good stuff? In the case of this week's Vault, the words are the good stuff as we shine a spotlight on three of our favourite games in the underutilized genre of interactive fiction.

Rating:

Jonas Kyratzes, Baldur's Gate, and Closure? Good news, or GREAT news? This week's Link Dump Friday is drowning in a sea of radness. You wouldn't think rad could be liquefied, but then, not everyone can be a scienmatist like me.

Rating:

Journal Entry 77 - It will soon be over. The monsters are at the door. So before I recklessly solve that final puzzle, and inevitably turn into a zombie, I leave to you another collection of classic games from the JayIsGames Vault. This week we have astonishing arena action, a peculiarly player-propelled pointer puzzler, and adorably addictive arcade awesomeness.

Rating:

Look at you. Sitting there. All zombie-less. Balloon-less. SLAK-less. It's a real sorry sight. Fortunately, Link Dump Friday is here to solve all that by forcing you to be interested in the same things we're interested in. Yaaaay!

Rating:

Retro doesn't have to mean old and boring! This week's Vault proves that it's more than just a series of blocky pixels that make retro-styled games fun and involving, with three picks from our archives with three very different gameplay styles.

Rating:

Monsters? Apocalypse? Psychological trauma? Ponies? I don't know about you, but those sound like the makings of a great weekend to me! March is turning into a month jam-packed with big releases for both the casual browser and indie community, and this week's Link Dump Friday features just a few of them we're excited about in addition to an update or two.

Rating:

ESCAPE!... through games, that is. The "escape" genre is an odd one, one that doesn't even sound like it should even be any fun, but for years now designers have thought up new ways to trap you with fiendish puzzles, and the audience is loving every megabyte of it. This week's Vault peeks at three of our favourite escape games that approach the genre from slightly different angles.

Rating:

Sure you could stomp a goomba or bust open some bricks if you had to, but what if you needed to solve some complex mental challenges while you were doing so? This week's Vault celebrates brains over brawn and combines them with light feel and quick reflexes in the puzzle platformer!

Rating:

Hey, JiG-fans. I have to admit that I don't really know where I am right now. I mean, when I woke up, I found myself locked in this weird room. Good thing I was able to get a Wi-Fi password by breaking that creepy clown statue in the corner, and so am able to bring you another wonderful round of classics from the JayIsGames Vault! This week, we've got a surprisingly deep retro-RPG, a dice game that'll keep your week rolling, and an absolute masterpiece of music play.

Rating:

When you want serious casual gaming, you want something with chutzpah. You need to harness the power of anger and boulder tossing and hamburger grilling and car repair and taking out the garbage. You need something manly, and thus have we provided you with three ultra-manly games from our well-stocked archives. What's more manly than fishing? Explodey science? Robots? Nothing, we tell you. Nothing!

They say no news is good news, but WE DEFY YOU and bring it to you anyway! This week, something scary is happening on the internet, some chick is about to be lit on fire, a baby chicken shows you pretty pictures, and more!

Rating:

It's a three letter genre you either love or love to hate. The RPG is one of the oldest types of games around, and has grown considerably from its early days at the hands of Miyamoto or Garriott. This week's Vault serves up three different examples of the genre that serve to remind us that there a million ways to incorporate it, but there hasn't been a decent Final Fantasy since Terra and Kefka. Yes, I went there.

Rating:

It's-a me, Mario! And William. And Tim. And a whole bunch of other awesome people. This week's Link Dump Friday not only features the usual batch of interesting news, but also features an interview with the one and only Lucas Paakh, creator of the wildly popular William and Sly games.

Rating:

Earth is boring! Who needs this stupid old spinning blue ball when there's a whole universe out there to explore? But fear not; even if you aren't Richard Garriot you can still explore the realms beyond with this collection of strange and otherworldly games!

Rating:

BEHOLD THE POWER OF PHYSICS, BESTOWED UPON US BY THE GODS. Or, in this case, by three very different but equally talented developers. This week's installment of the Vault takes a look at (you guessed it) physics and the many ways it can challenge, delight, and torment us.

Rating:

Need a change of pace? Maybe you should try being one of the heroes in this week's edition of the Vault! A dolphin, a pizza delivery boy, and an exterminator might not sound particularly heroic, but you might just be surprised.

Rating:

Are you not feeling like the super awesome, totally rad, seriously-not-sucking-up-to-you person you are today? That won't do at all! Try on this week's Vault for size, where we picked three action-packed, silly, and even downright mystical games to help you feel like your best and put you in a better mood.

Who needs work when you've got puzzles to keep you busy? This week's Vault rustles up three more puzzles for you to solve, ranging from clean and straightforward to surreal leaps of logic.

Action isn't all brawling robots, blasting guns, and pop culture references. This week's Vault takes a look at three titles that all share a common strangeness, but also incorporate action into their gameplay in different ways.

Rating:

Need a laugh? Yeah, well, YOUR FACE! HA!... okay, so there's a reason I don't tell the jokes around here, but fortunately, with this week's Vault focusing on some very funny, silly, and weird little titles, you don't have to rely on me for your chuckles.

Rating:

Who says weird is bad? This week's installment of the Vault focuses on three games we've branded "unique" that all take the moniker and run with it in different directions. From a soul-searching sea monster to a bustling island, to stately women slugging it out for respect, these are all games that might be a little different, but are more than a little memorable and awesome.

Rating:

Cats, gems, robots, and dwarves. What do they have in common? They're all starring in this week's installment of The Vault that celebrates some of our favourite Metroidvania style games! Running, jumping, exploring, tracking down new items and power ups... it's everything we love, and here are three of the games that have done it the best.

Rating:

Sometimes you'll play a game so memorable it'll stay with you for days. Other times it's the game's soundtrack that stays with you. In this week's Vault, we visit a rhythm game, a platformer, and a balance puzzler, all of which have some pretty intense earworms for audio. Prepare to get some catchy music stuck in your head.

Rating:

Bright colours and music abound in this edition of the Vault, where we take a look back at two very different creative puzzlers, and a tower-defense game that spawned a fan base that's rabid even today.

With costumes, jack o'lanterns, apple bobbing, and a million cavities worth of candy soon on the way, it seems only right that we dedicate this week's installment of The Vault to featuring some spooktacular games from the JiG archives. Though these works were chosen for their kid-friendliness, they should appeal to trick-or-treaters of all ages.

Rating:

Riddle me this, JiG reader! What lies within the confines of The Vault this week? Could it be pie? Cupcakes? Cupcake PIE?! You could try to puzzle it out, or you could just click through to find out yourself!

Rating:

I can't get no.... satisfaction. I can't get no... gaming action. But I try! And I try! And I try! And I try!... and I realize that I can probably just look to the JiG archives for all the games I could ever want. Take that, double negative! This week in The Vault we've got three action games that are sure to fire your imagination.

Rating:

It's a wacky, weird, and colourful Link Dump Friday this week, with several different types of sentient goop, angry aliens, painting best described as "experimental" (or maybe impressionist), toys, nightmares, and more!

Rating:

It's a point-and-click-stravaganza on this week's edition of the Vault, as we pull back the ancient mists of time through the years all the way back to 2005 in search of some of our best adventure games. If you're a fan of the site, you're probably familiar with one of them in particular, but all three are fantastic little tales ripe for the picking. Or clicking. Whichever.

Rating:

You shouldn't trust any of the protagonists or scenarios in this week's Link Dump Friday since they'll probably get you killed in a variety of painful ways. Like growing a beanstalk in your chest. Or throwing you in acid. Or striking you dead just so they can squabble over your corpse. Games are harsh.

Rating:

Some times while gazing up at the celestial firmament, I realize that, out there in this big world of ours, there are thousands of unlucky 8 month-olds who have never experienced a JiG Casual Game Design Competition. It's a tragedy really. And while those poor tots might not be required to wait too much longer, we can takes some comfort in the 9 previous CGDC iterations each provide more than the daily requirement of epic that growing children need. This week, the JiG Vault features some personal favorites from past competions. Future entrants take note: you've got some tough acts to follow.

Rating:

Rating:

The visual technology of gaming is advancing at a pace like never before, reaching heights of graphical complexity never before seen. Developers no longer have to use programming "cheats" to create 3D effects... but still we respect the skill of those who wanted to and did. This week, the JiG Vault features three excellent pseudo-3D games from our archives. It may have been five years since their graphics were cutting-edge, but fun is timeless.

Rating:

We celebrate the spirit of Christmas a little early and have a bloody good time before sailing off to the moon with a bunch of mismatched robots and a dude in a rabbit leotard... yep, it's just another week here at Link Dump Friday.

A friendly warning to everyone enjoying this edition of Link Dump Friday: 40% of the facts stated below are blatantly false. In fact, that fact is untrue.

The Vault gets social this week with a look back at some of our favourite free MMORPGs that still manage to be addicting and engaging even today despite a lack of celebrity endorsements or high-falutin' graphics and whatnot.

Since my computer room tends to have people in it, most of the time my speakers have to stay muted. Still, when I get the urge to be a heroic guitarist, a revolutionary dancer, or an elite agent of beat, no one can stop me from having the volume go up to 11. To quote Dire Straits: I want my JiG! This week in The Vault, lets give a round of sound for three games whose awesome audio is music to my ears.

Rating:

Arcade, puzzle, RPG, and escape combine to form the savoury, heady brew that is your Link Dump Friday! Guide an intrepid lad with a hunger for raw fish through a minefield, help a whale find true love, make or break your new ice-cream business, and spend some time in a cell with the world's least talkative roommate.

I tried to do the cryptic crossword in this morning's paper, but sadly I couldn't even figure out 1-Across: Dancing Leap Mixes a Vital Jug (3, 5). Thankfully, when I need to recharge my active vocabulary, I never forget the JiG Vault. So what are we featuring this week, my lord? Words, Words, Words! Be sure to have your thesaurus at the ready for some language games that are worth at least a thousand pictures.
